To me using backports to Jessie is acceptable; 2 years ago we had to use
backports then to get started, so I think that as this hits backports,
we should have a fix. I noted from another of your emails... (below)

Yep - thats awesome. As soon as we have this in backports, then I'll
build with GPT disks, gsdisk.  I think after we've been via backports we
can possibly recommend it to include in a point release.

Thanks Tiago.
